Question 1

i was ttc and i used lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) cream groin area  3days before ttc. if pregnant will it hurt baby since its a category c drug? how long is it in body?

Accepted Answer

No: Lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) will not cause any problems.

Question 2

can you apply lotrisone for acute vaginitis?

Accepted Answer

: It has no effect in bacterial vaginitis. Furthermore, lotrisone is used on skin, not for mucous membrane. By Drugs.com: avoid getting this medicine in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. You should see a GYN doctor for a correct diagnosis and treatment.

Question 3

i used lotrisone on my vulva for 6-7 days 2x per. it burned bad for a week. did i thin my skin? used on hairless skin next to the minoras.

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: The maximum length of time for the use of topical steroids (like betamethasone cream in lotrisone) is 7 days on delicate skin areas: perieum (vulva/penis), palms, soles, face and neck.  It is 10 days for the rest of the body.  Prolonged use after that can cause thinning of the skin, steroid acne, and striations (silver lines like stretch marks).  You should be fine.  Avoid repeating soon!

Question 4

can use lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) on wounds?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) works for fungus and to decrease inflammation.  Applying a steroid to an infection can make it worse.  Always seek medical care for a diagnosis. It is never a good idea to put on medications one has lying around the house in hopes that it will help.  Many over the counter preparations used in the wrong instance can be dangerous.

Question 5

can you use lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) cream on your skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: Lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) can be used on the skin, but only for the right reasons. The antifungal part gets rid of some tinea infections, while the steroid part cuts down on redness, itching, and inflammation. A doctor can evaluate to see if such a cream should be used, and importantly, for how long it should be used.

Question 6

given lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) for penile fungal infection. used 9 days, foreskin thinning, blueness on head. month later, skin still thinned & burning. concerned!

Accepted Answer

Use steroid free: Lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) is a combination of both an anti-fungal and a topical steroid. The steroid is causing the thinning of the skin. And 9 days is not long enough to treat fungal skin infection. You need a topical cream like lotrimin that is just the anti-fungal cream and not containing any steroid, and then use it routinely for weeks to clear up the infection. Oral meds also available but more side effects.

Question 7

reaction from sun which have me itching on my arm, chest, back, and face. i have fluticasone propionate cream .05% & lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) cream. which 1 to use?

Accepted Answer

I would go: With the more potent one which i believe is the fluticasone, probably given to you by a doctor.  Good luck, .

Question 8

i use sunscreen& either burn or breakout. use fluticasone propionate cream, calamin lotion, lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) cream on sunburn?  if not wants good to use?

Accepted Answer

Apply cool...: ...Washcloths often, and take Ibuprofen to decrease the pain and inflammation. If you burn after applying a sunscreen, you are not using one that is strong enough, or applying it often enough. Breakouts are usually from the vehicle. So choose a spray or thin lotion with a high spf (55 or higher) and apply it often while you are in the sun.

Question 9

groin itch >6 months been to doc 3 times. tried 4 prescription fungal + cortizone (hydrocortisone).  latest was lotrisone and econazole spray on top now rash appeared. pleasehlp?

Accepted Answer

Consuming sugar: is like throwing a party for yeast and some other infections.  Please consider an additional approach by excluding sugar from your diet.  Do you drink lots of soda or eat lots of sweets?  Please do what your doc says.  Change underwear daily and keep the area dry.  Peace and good health.

Question 10

can you buy lotrisone (clotrimazole and betamethasone) otc?
